"I am new to sales and became a member of the President's Club with Darren five months ago. As a result of building relationships, I just landed two accounts with investment amounts in the tens of millions of dollars. I can't express how much the Sandler System and the support of ongoing training helped me to succeed. As a professional tennis player, I know the value of a great coach in business. Darren is the coach that will take your game to the next level."
Rudolfo Rodriguez, International Financial Advisor Merryl Lynch
"I have been attending Sandler Sales Training with Darren Cecil for the past two years and I am still learning new wrinkles in the President's Club today. As my income has doubled every year, I would definitely recommend Darren's training to anyone that is interested in the best sales training that I ever attended and the best sales training available today."

To Whom This May Concern,
Darren Cecil and The Sandler Sales Institute have proven to be instrumental in the growth of Get 1 Free Magazine. Get 1 Free Magazine is a highly sales intensive operation. With over 25 sales people on staff and with constant large growing budgets to hit, we must insure that our sales staff is working as efficient as possible. We have found that Darren and the Sandler Sales Institute's style of sales training perfectly cater to our sales needs. We never imagined the type of growth that we could have experienced before hiring Darren.
Get 1 Free Magazine recently won the “Fastest Growing Privately Held Companies in San Diego County” by the San Diego Business Journal. We were also awarded as one of the top three “Most Outstanding Emerging Businesses in San Diego County” by the San Diego Chamber of Commerce. We credit much of our success and continued growth to Darren and his sales training. After Darren consulted with us and understood where our pain had lied, he then met with our staff weekly and took our team to another level of productivity. The results were immediate. Unlike other sales training, Daren's approach is hands on and very personal. He remarkably blended his techniques with our industry specific sales challenges in a way that made perfect sense to our entire staff. Our sales team always looked forward to his weekly trainings and their paychecks were a direct reflection of his teachings. My personal two favorite sales tools are the “upfront contract” and the “close the file” line, which have both proven to be extremely effective.
I give my highest recommendation to Darren and The Sandler Sales Institute. Without this training, I'm convinced that Get 1 Free Magazine would be without the above mentioned awards. We can't thank Darren enough for the education that he has brought to our sales team. He is unquestionably an asset to any sales organization.
Sincerely,
Ryan Green
Vice President
Get 1 Free Magazine, LLC.

This was an excellent training. It should be required of all employees.
